The 7/7 Neo Black Movement of Africa Day, also known as the Black Axe Day in the state, is being observed, according to the Lagos State Police Command, and measures have been taken to crack down on suspected cultists.
According to a statement released on Wednesday by the state police public relations officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, certain thugs and cult members had finalized plans to observe the 7/7 Neo Black Movement of Africa Day, also known as Black Axe Day, on Thursday, July 7, 2022.
Hundeyin said, “In view of this, the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alabi, in very strong terms, warns these groups with the intent to scuttle the peace being enjoyed in the state to shelve their plans.
“Consequently, the command’s tactical teams, Area Commanders and DPOs in collaboration with other sister agencies are fully prepared to clamp down heavily on organisers, leaders and progenitors of such sinister groups whose aim is to cause wanton violence in the state.

The CP, while urging all residents to be law-abiding and vigilant, enjoined them to go about their lawful duties without fear of harassment or intimidation
